Re rata ha re ka bona

Re rata ha re ka bona (We would really love to see)
Jesu, letsatsi la rona; (Jesus our sunshine;)
Taba tsa hae ke lesedi (His Word is a light)
Le lelekisang lefifi. (That removes all the darkness.)

Re khelohile hakaakang! (We have turned away from Him)
Re tla botsa tsela ho mang? (Who can show us the was to Him?)
Tsela ya ‘nete ke Jesu; (Jesus is the only way;)
Tlong, a re ‘matleng, baheso. (Come beloved, lets run to Him.)

Baitshepi ba lahleha, (Believers sometimes stumble)
Ba leng boi ba teneha; (And they sometimes fall)
Ha ho bohlale ho batho, (We lack wisdom,)
Le matla a sieo kwano. (And we are very weak)

ya sa rateng ho timela (Whoever does not want to be lost)
A latele Jesu fela; (Must only follow Jesus;)
A se ke a tshaba letho, (He must never fear anything,)
A hlobohe tsa bokhopo.  (But turn away from unrighteousness.)

Leha batho ba mo tshwenya, (Even when people trouble him,)
Ha ba ka ke ba mo senya; (They will never ruin him)
Jesu a ka tlohela jwang (Because Jesus will never leave)
Bana ba hae ba mo ratang? (All His children who love Him)

ya itshepetseng Morena (He who trusts in the Lord)
O tla pholoswa ke eena; (Will be forever saved by Him)
O tla kena lehodimong, (He will take Him to heaven,)
A dule lehlohonolong. (In eternal bliss.)

Jesu, ‘Moloki e motle, (Jesus our beautiful Saviour,)
Tlosa ho ‘na dibe tsohle; (Keep sin away from me;)
Ke fetohe ka tumelo, (So that by faith I can be changed,)
Ke itshabise timelo! (And be saved from eternal destruction)
